FORT COLLINS – The Colorado State injury list is long, to be sure.

But it is shrinking.

And that’s more than welcome news to its coach, Jim McElwain, and to a team looking to make big strides in the final four games of the season.

First up is quarterback Garrett Grayson, who is listed as probable for Saturday’s game at Wyoming. He’s missed three straight games and four weeks total since breaking his clavicle against Air Force on Sept. 29. Yet, there’s still enough uncertainty about how he’ll fare in a game that he will not start on Saturday. Redshirt freshman Conner Smith will.

Davis tore his ACL in last weekend’s game against Hawaii. He’ll have surgery on it “as soon as possible so he’s able to get back for the summer,” McElwain said. “This is a guy who is going to be a bell cow in this program. One of those young guys that gets it.”
